Bakamla Launches 3 80 Meter Patrol Boats



The Sea Security Agency (Bakamla) RI re-launched three nationwide patrol boats carried out by PT Citra Shipyard, Tanjung Uncang, Batam, Thursday (12/13/2018). Interestingly, the names of the three National Ships (KN) were taken from the name of the outer islands of Indonesia, namely KN Pulau Nipah 8001, KN Island Marore 8002, and KN Pulau Dana 8003.



The Patrol Ship is 80 meters long, 7.90 meters wide, 14.4 meters high with speeds up to 22 knots, and has a 2 unit MAN / 18VP185TM drive engine. Acting Deputy of Marine Operations Laksma Bakamla Guntur Wahyudi said, the construction of three 80 meter Bakamla patrol boats certainly has a very strategic meaning for the national defense and security industry. This aims to safeguard the sovereignty of Indonesia's territorial waters and Indonesia's jurisdiction.

"The success of building the ship is also a testament to the ability of Indonesian children to contribute to the mastery of the national shipping technology," Guntur said on Thursday (12/13/2018). "It is also one of the concrete solutions in reducing dependency from other countries related to the procurement of patrol boats in the future," he added.



These three vessels will also be expected to be able to increase the strength and capability of Bakamla RI, especially for the needs of operational elements in carrying out their duties to carry out security and safety patrols. In addition, the presence of this vessel is also an important part in supporting the realization of the Indonesian state as the world's maritime axis. "With the addition of these three ships, Bakamla currently has 10 patrol boats," he concluded.

Het laatste patrouille schip '' Commandante Eterno Hugo Chávez'' voor de Venezolaanse marine / kustwacht is bijna gereed voor aflevering. Het schip komt voort uit het contract dat Venezuela in 2005 sloot met het Spaanse Navantia. Het schip zou al sinds 2009 in aanbouw zijn en is lokaal gebouwd met hulp van Navantia dat de modules aanleverde. Het schip zou origineel de naam Tamanaco krijgen maar dit is nu veranderd naar de naam van Hugo Chávez de ''eeuwige commandant''. Het contract bestaat uit 4 schepen met daarnaast nog 4 korvetten, deze zijn allemaal al geleverd tussen 2010 - 2012.

Het VK en Frankrijk gaan samenwerken aan een nieuwe generatie Anti-scheeps raketten met introductie tegen 2030. De RN gaat er vanuit dat de Harpoon vanaf 2023 uit dienst gaat en blijft dus 7 jaar zonder ASuW capaciteit. Daarom bekijkt de RN nu een interim optie maar de Fransen zien dat niet zitten, iets met eigen belang?

Anglo-French joint inquiry reports on future anti-ship missile systems

The UK and French Governments have every interest in successfully completing the Future Cruise/Anti-Ship Weapon programme say the House of Commons Defence Committee and the Assemblée nationale's Standing Committee on National Defence and the Armed Forces, in a joint report published today.

The report, drafted and agreed by both Committees, marks the culmination of the first joint Inquiry between a House of Commons Committee and a Committee of a non-UK legislature. The Inquiry, which is a new step in UK-French inter-parliamentary cooperation on defence and national security matters, has focused on one of the most ambitious products of the Lancaster House Agreement signed between the UK and French Governments in 2010 – the Future Cruise/Anti-Ship Weapon (FC/ASW) programme.

New generation of deep strike and anti-ship missiles by 2030
The FC/ASW seeks to develop a new generation of deep strike and anti-ship missiles by 2030, replacing the capabilities hitherto provided by Harpoon and Exocet (anti-ship missiles) and SCALP/Storm Shadow (deep strike missiles). In 2017, both Governments agreed to conduct a 'concept phase', led by MBDA. This phase is due to conclude in 2020 after which Ministers will need to decide whether to proceed to a 'design, development and production phase' for the FC/ASW to come into service in 2030.

Issues that need resolving for FC/ASW programme to continue after 2020
The joint Inquiry, which included joint evidence sessions in London and Paris, found that – while good progress had been made in the 'concept phase' to date – several key issues need to be resolved in order for the FC/ASW programme to continue after 2020. These issues include:

The approach the MoD chooses to take in filling the 'capability gap' that will emerge when Harpoon retires from service in 2023. The MoD will need to decide whether to opt for a short-term 'bridging capability' to see the UK through to the coming into service of the FC/ASW, or a longer-term replacement capability that could call the FC/ASW into question. The joint report urges the MoD to balance carefully the savings that could be made from a longer-term off-the-shelf replacement for Harpoon against the potential costs to the UK's industrial base as well as to its defence relationship with France if FC/ASW were not to proceed;
The necessity of achieving convergence on key operational requirements – especially on whether the FC/ASW programme should give precedence to supersonic or stealth missile technology;
The procurement process for the FC/ASW programme post-2020, including safeguards to ensure value for money if MBDA is awarded the main contract without competition; and
Interoperability of the FC/ASW with platforms deployed by the UK's and France's allies in NATO.
While the joint report notes that there is a risk of FC/ASW not proceeding after 2020, it emphasizes that there is still ample time for differences to be ironed out. The two Committees express confidence that these issues "can be resolved amicably and successfully".

Chair's comments
Commenting on the report, the Chairman of the Defence Committee, the Rt Hon Dr Julian Lewis MP said:

"The FC/ASW programme is an exciting opportunity to deepen the UK's and France's defence partnership and the 'One Complex Weapons Initiative', involving MBDA, that has helped to sustain key skills in both countries' defence industrial bases. 

"However, for the programme to succeed, it is clear that some significant issues need to be resolved before the 'concept phase' concludes in 2010 and both Governments must approach these issues in a spirit of pragmatism and compromise.

"If these issues can be resolved – and we are confident that they can – then this programme has the potential to strengthen considerably the cooperation between our two countries, including our role in the collective defence of Europe within NATO.

"Today's report is a testament to the strength of the UK's defence partnership with France, irrespective of our forthcoming departure from the European Union."

Een interessant project voor de KM om in de gaten te houden, als dit een hypersone raket word kan dat wel eens iets zijn voor de KM.
En voor de RN een interim raket? Ga voor de Exocet MM40 Block 3 dan zijn de Fransen ook tevreden.

New Klewang Will Be Launched Mid-2019



KRI Klewang 2 as a replacement for a burning vessel will be launched in mid-2019, this was confirmed by John Lundin Managing Director of PT Lundin Industry Invest, Trimaran ship manufacturer when interviewed by Navy Recognition at the exhibition The new Indo Defense 2018 . Furthermore, it is said that the physical progress of the rebuilding of the ship has gone up significantly, then several changes have also been made, including the mast (main pole) which has a new design, Combat Management System besides of course the use of materials that are more fire resistant. The design of the Trimaran ship with sharp angles and high pole radar sensors will not affect the stability of the ship.



As is known, KRI Klewang-625 caught fire due to electrical short circuit shortly after passing the engine test at the Navy-Navy Base in Banyuwangi, Bali Strait, on September 28, 2012, although according to the plan three more days, this ship will be delivered to the Indonesian Navy. This trimaran ship was ordered by the Ministry of Defense for the Indonesian Navy for Rp. 114 billion. This lighter carbon fiber composite ship is designed as a stealth ship with the ability to induce heat and be difficult to detect by radar. The ship with a length of 60.7 meters and weighs 250 tons and is driven by four main engine units can sail up to 2,000 nm and can travel at high speeds of up to 35 knots and can penetrate waves as high as six meters.

Ze blijven wel doorzetten die Indonesiërs ondanks dat het een kansloos schip is. Een FAC gemaakt van kunststof 
Als ik zo kijk naar die ontwerp info dan kan dat nooit iets worden dat echt gaat aanslaan internationaal of regionaal.

Top snelheid van 30 knopen (sprint) maar dan mag het schip niet vol beladen zijn, ik schat zo 20 - 25 knopen in als top snelheid bij volle belading. En ze hebben brandstof tanks 30.000 liter en dan hebben ze ook nog reserve brandstof tanks met nog eens 20.000 liter

DSME awarded contract to build ASR-II submarine rescue ship

South Korean shipbuilder Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) has been awarded a contract for the construction of a new auxiliary submarine rescue ship (ASR-II) for the Republic of Korea Navy (RoKN), the company announced on 7 December.

The 5,200-tonne vessel is expected to be delivered to the service by the end of 2022 as part of a deal signed with the country's Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) worth KRW444 billion (USD397 million), according to the Yonhap News Agency.

The ASR-II, which is expected to feature a helicopter deck and reach speeds of up to 20 kt, will have a 'centre well' (moon pool) through which a deep-sea rescue vessel (DSRV) will be deployed to rescue the crews of distressed submarines at depths of up to 500 m amid waves as tall as 4 m.

The 'centre well' will also allow for broader submarine support operations in addition to underwater exploration, according to DAPA.

Moreover, the vessel will embark a remotely operated vehicle that will be capable of operating at depths of up to 1,000 m.

The RoKN currently operates a multipurpose submarine rescue ship - the 103 m long, 4,300-tonne RoKS Cheonghaejin - which was commissioned in November 1996 and can operate in waves of 2 m or smaller. The ship relies on an A-frame to launch and recover the DSRVs.

The service also operates a 107 m, 3,500-tonne, helicopter-capable multipurpose salvage ship named RoKS Tongyeong , which is designed to meet the submarine rescue role. Both ships were built by DSME.

Nieuwe foto's van de bouw van de Italiaanse LHD Trieste. Er schijnen in Italie ook geruchten te zijn rondom de PPA fregatten, de nieuwe regering zou er minder willen bouwen dan gepland (10).
Het contract van de eerste 7 ligt er dus mogelijk worden het er 8 waarvan er dan 3 volledig uitgerust worden, 3 in de lichte plus versie en 2 in lichte versie.

Netjes, 10k ton is een treaty cruiser. Hopelijk houden ze de bewapening onder de 8 inch.

Netjes, 10k ton is een treaty cruiser. Hopelijk houden ze de bewapening onder de 8 inch.

Die 8 inch is al lang vergeten en dat plan is in 1978 de prullenbak in gegaan bij de USN. En ook de recente ontwikkelingen met de 155 mm AGS's is niet geslaagd.



De enigste optie die ik nog zie is de AGS-light maar daarbij houden ze het probleem wat ze hebben met die op de Zumwalts ; te dure ammo.
Ook is dit wapensysteem nooit verder gekomen dan de tekentafel en het gaat er ook niet komen tenzij de VS alle DDG's gaat ombouwen voor de AGS-light.




En de Italianen zijn niet zo dom om een compleet nieuwe kanon te gaan ontwikkelen verwacht ik en als ze het doen word dat niet zwaarder dan de 155 mm. En zonder zo'n groot kaliber word dit project waarschijnlijk al duur genoeg. Ik zie de Italianen eerder een eigen kruis raket ontwikkelen dan een nieuw zwaarder kaliber wapen systeem. De 127 mm kan straks tot op 100 km afstand doelen raken.
